According to the passage, Oswald Avery was denied the Nobel Prize, because —.
It Is generally believed that DNA was discovered by the Cambridge scientists Francis Crick and James Watson, who won a Nobel Prize in 1962 lor revealing its purpose. In fact, everyone is wrong: DNA was actually discovered in 1869. and its purpose revealed years before Crick and Watson. In fact, the real credit should have gone to Oswald Avery and his team at Rockefeller University. New York. who. in 1944. used bacteria to show that DNA passed genetic information from one organism to another. The trouble was that all the experts, including even those who advised the Nobel committee, then claimed that DNA was too simple to do this and could not possibly carry all the information needed to build a living organism. This was almost impossible. Thus, Avery was repeatedly denied the prize. However, by the early 1960s the Nobel committee agreed, and accepted Avery and his team had been right all along and deserved the Nobel Prize. But, by then it was too late as Avery had died in 1955. This is one of the sad stories in science.
